I've been here at Moving to Minnesota, or "GoodMorningBethRichardson'sOfficeHowCanIHelpYou?", for just over 2 years. It's been quite a ride.
I came from years in education as a middle school teacher, charter school administrator, and trainer of service-learning for college and university professors. I'd hit a burnout patch and was looking for a change. My only experience with real estate was from our home purchase in 2005. But, I knew I wanted to work for Beth. Our experience working with her was smooth and really kind of fun and I've always loved poking around online looking at houses. And so I leapt...
My first thought when I began - paperwork.
My thoughts for the first few months - seriously - paperwork.
My thoughts to this day - Really? more paperwork!
Yes, buying a home involves lots and lots of paperwork. Managing the purchase and sale of 75+ homes a year involves a ridiculous amount of paperwork. However, no more paperwork than needed to run a school.
I'm on it!
